Porsche 911 owners are behind the wheel of a worthy automotive investment, a new study finds. The iconic German-made sports car has the lowest five-year depreciation rate of any vehicle, according to the report from used-car search engine iSeeCars. The auto-focused tech company says it studied over 800,000 5-year-old pre-owned autos sold from March 2024 to February 2025 to collect its data.
The 911 tops a list of 25 new cars with the lowest depreciation rate, with an average dip of 19.5 percent over five years and an average MSRP difference of $24,428. In more good news for Porsche, No. 2 on the value-retaining list is the marque’s 718 Cayman, which drops 21.8 percent in value over five years. Rounding out the top five are the Toyota Tacoma, the Chevrolet Corvette and the Honda Civic which sit at 26 percent, 27.2 percent and 28 percent, respectively, in five-year depreciation.
While those cars may be great at holding their value, others aren’t so lucky. The company also compiled a list of 25 vehicles that have the highest 5-year depreciation. The electric Jaguar I-Pace topped that list with an average depreciation of 72.2 percent over five years and a $51,953 average difference in MRSP. At No. 2 is the luxe BMW 7 Series, which has a 67.1 percent 5-year devaluation rate. The Tesla Model S (with a 65.2 percent depreciation rate), Infiniti QX80 (with a 65.2 percent depreciation rate), and Maserati Ghibli (with a 64.7 percent depreciation rate) rounded out the top five.
The study found that electric vehicles lose the most value after driving off the lot, dropping an average of 58.8 percent over five years. EVs and luxury cars made up 23 out of 25 of the cars that depreciated most, while trucks and hybrids tended to hold their value the best. Check out the lowest and highest depreciating new vehicles below, at least according to iSeeCars.
